The Tudor Dynasty's Struggles for Heirs and Religious Transformation

The video explores the Tudor dynasty's struggle for a male heir, leading to Henry VIII's controversial divorce from Catherine of Aragon and marriage to Anne Boleyn. This resulted in the creation of the Church of England, breaking away from the Catholic Church. Henry's subsequent marriages and the birth of his children, including Mary I and Elizabeth I, led to religious shifts between Catholicism and Protestantism. Elizabeth I's reign restored Protestantism, and the English Reformation continued until the late 17th century.
